What is new

Fixes asked for on the board: the hidden Dock, wide widgets and widget legibility.

• Fix: with automatic hiding on, the Dock waits for a folder or collection popover to close before it hides.
• Fix: wide widgets follow magnification along with the icons around them, with nothing passing over anything else.
• Fix: the calendar’s next event and the Claude, Codex and OpenCode usage widgets have larger text and more contrast. At small sizes a widget hides what matters less rather than shrinking everything.

Codex and OpenCode usage, keyboard layout, the date on the clock and a round of fixes asked for on the board.

• Codex Usage: your plan’s limits (5 hours, week or month, whichever the plan has), with the time until they reset, or the tokens. Read from Codex’s logs on this Mac, with nothing to set up.
• OpenCode Usage: cost or tokens for today, the week or the month, split by provider, with each one’s most used model.
• Keyboard Layout: shows the layout in use and moves to the next one with a click. The panel lists every layout turned on.
• Clock with the date: turn on Show the date in the clock widget, or add the Date and Time card. Handy for screenshots with the menu bar hidden.
• IconStudio: every app in the Dock shows in a grid, not just the first eight.
• Desktops on two displays: the second display’s first desktop can activate a workspace on its own, and with more than one display each desktop says which one it is on.
• Fix: the Dock no longer jumps to another display when the pointer crosses between screens or drags something near the edge. Only the real edge counts.
• Fix: with the Dock in its own layer, the right-click menu opens above the Dock and its items take the click.
• Fix: dragging a file from a folder’s popup (Downloads, say) to the Dock’s Trash moves it to the Trash.
• Fix: the music widget shows what Spotify and Apple Music play even without Automation access, no longer drops to Nothing playing when the player is slow, and says where to allow its buttons.

Widgets that match your icon pack.

• Widgets wear the icon pack you use for every app: the same container, colours and type, on the bar, in the editor preview and on wide widgets. The 12 packs in the gallery come ready.
• Always readable: text and marks are adjusted until they have enough contrast on the pack’s container, warning colours too, like a low battery’s.
• The Timer and Pomodoro progress line follows the outline of the pack’s container.
• Prefer PrimoDock’s own look? Turn off Appearance › Widgets follow the icon pack.

Icons: swap the Dock’s icons for ready-made packs, or draw your own.

• Icon Gallery: packs to install in one click, previewed on the apps in your Dock with how many of them each pack covers. New packs and updates arrive on their own, no app update needed.
• IconStudio: draw icons from up to two letters, a PNG of yours, the app’s own icon or any icon from your installed packs, on the background you like. Use it on one app, or the same style on all of them.
• An icon per app: right-click an app in the Dock, Options, Icon, and pick the original, a pack or a picture of yours.
• Restore System Icons, in IconStudio, gives every app its macOS icon back.
• Spacers now live on the Widgets page.

The Apps icon opens the macOS app launcher, no longer the Applications folder.

• On macOS 26, clicking Apps in the bar opened the Applications folder in Finder, because macOS only opens its app launcher from its own Dock. PrimoDock now clicks Apps in the hidden macOS Dock, and the launcher opens just like from the native Dock. Without Accessibility access, the icon still opens the Applications folder.

With a single bar, apps open on the other display show up in it again.

• With "Only apps on the current desktop" on and the bar on one display, an app open only on the other display vanished from the bar, because each display has its own desktop in macOS. The bar now shows apps open on any display. With a bar on every display, each one still shows only its own apps.

Zoomed windows stop at the bar, and the music widget shows what is playing again.

• Double-clicking a title bar now zooms the window straight into the space above PrimoDock's bar. It used to slide under the bar and jump back up.
• With the bar shrunk to fit the screen, zoomed windows reach down to it instead of leaving an empty strip above it.
• The music widget could stay on "Nothing playing" while Spotify played, until PrimoDock was reopened. It now finds the open player even when macOS keeps records of old launches around.

With the bar and the macOS Dock on the same edge, only PrimoDock's bar shows up.

• With PrimoDock's bar and the macOS Dock on the same edge, the macOS Dock now stays hidden for good. The two used to slide in together, one on top of the other, when the pointer reached the edge.
• If you change the Dock in System Settings (hiding, position or size), PrimoDock puts its own setting back within a few seconds.

Your licence now works on Windows too, a click opens the app you are looking at, and a bar too long for the screen shrinks its icons, like the macOS Dock.

• Your licence now also covers PrimoDock for Windows, on a PC of your own. If you already bought it, there is nothing more to pay and no Mac is given up: just activate the same key on the PC.
• With magnification on, or with the bar wider than the screen, clicking an icon sometimes opened the app next to it. A click now always opens the app whose name is showing.
• When the apps do not fit the screen, the icons shrink until the whole bar fits, and grow back to the size you chose when there is room. The ones at the ends used to be cut off. With a Dock on every display, each bar fits its own screen.
• With workspaces bound to desktops, an app brought to the front on another desktop (with ⌘-Tab, say) could be missing from the bar there. And apps that only take a Dock icon after opening a window, like some Electron and Java apps, did not show up. Both are fixed.
• A new setting in General › Hide: how long the bar waits before sliding in, from 0 to 1 second.
• With an app in full screen, the bar sometimes stayed on top of it. It now hides.
• Scrolling a stack of widgets works with the pointer anywhere on it, not only near its edges.
• With the bar hidden, the seasonal theme decorations (the Halloween pumpkins, for one) go too, instead of staying on the edge of the screen.

PrimoDock opens on every Mac again, and Halloween themes arrive with a little ghost pet.

• Since 0.10.2, PrimoDock quit right after opening on some Macs, depending on which apps were open. It now opens as it should.
• Three Halloween themes: Halloween, Haunted Night and Candy Corn. They bring bats, fog and falling leaves, cobwebs with a spider and dripping slime on the edge, and jack-o'-lanterns and little ghosts in place of the lights.
• A new ghost pet that floats above the bar, sleeps in a cauldron and eats from a pumpkin pail.
• Whatever falls from the top, snow included, now fades in instead of appearing cut off by the top of the window.
• Changing a widget's width in one workspace left stacks in other workspaces holding tiles of two widths. The odd widget now leaves the stack and gets a place of its own.

Stacks that answer at once and open Quick Look, smoother magnification and a music widget that no longer freezes.

• In stacks (Downloads, the Trash and other folders) the highlight follows the pointer at once. It used to lag by more than a second while another app was in front.
• With the pointer on a file in a stack, Space opens Quick Look, like the macOS Dock and Finder. Space again closes it.
• Magnification keeps pace with the display's refresh rate and no longer redraws the whole bar every frame, so gliding across the Dock is smoother, especially on 120 Hz screens.
• Taking the Now Playing widget off and putting it back left the old one asking the player in the background, until PrimoDock froze. A removed widget now stops for good.

The first-run walkthrough no longer gets lost when macOS asks to reopen the app.

• Switching on Full Disk Access makes System Settings offer "Quit & Reopen". That used to end the walkthrough and leave the remaining steps behind. PrimoDock now reopens on the page you were on.
• Send feedback opens the board at its new address, fdbk.online/oprimo/primodock.

New looks for the Dock, a touch of Christmas and Santa as a pet.

• Liquid Glass: clear glass in the style of the iPad. The wallpaper stays sharp behind the bar, the edge catches the light, and the glass can take a tint.
• Seasonal themes, in their own section of Appearance: Christmas, Snowy Night and Candy Cane. Snow falling onto the bar, a drift with icicles and a string of twinkling lights, each with its own switch.
• Santa, a new pet: he walks the Dock with his sack of presents, laughs ho ho ho, eats milk and cookies and sleeps in his sleigh.
• Pets yawn, stretch, lie about awake, crouch before a pounce and wash themselves. While the Mac saves energy, they get lazier.

Window previews wait for you to stop, and the right click can bring the app's own items.

• Previews only open once the pointer rests on an icon. Moving across the bar or heading straight for a right click no longer opens cards on the way.
• Opening the right-click menu closes the previews, and the app's name hides while they are open, so nothing stacks up over the icon.
• A new setting, off by default: an open app's menu can show the app's own items, such as its window list, New Window and bookmarks. It lives in Settings, Utilities, and needs Accessibility and Screen Recording.

Switching apps and windows from the bar is quicker and lands where you clicked.

• Clicking the icon of an open app brings it forward at once, without the second or two apps like VS Code used to take.
• In the previews of an app with several windows, clicking one brings that exact window forward, on the first click.
• When Screen Recording is missing, the previews show an orange warning instead of a blue link that was easy to miss.

The rest of the two-display fix, now for open apps that are not pinned.

• An open app shows on the bar of the display its window is on. Drag the window to the other display and the icon follows, to the workspace that display is showing.
• When it starts, PrimoDock puts every app that was already open in the workspace of the display its window is on, rather than all of them in the active one. That holds after an update too.
• Switching workspaces, showing a hidden app or coming back from another desktop changes none of this: only a window that moves to another display takes its app along.

A fix for anyone with a Dock on every display.

• The open apps of one display also showed up on the bar of the other, twice over. Each window now counts only on the desktop of the display it is on, and each bar shows the open apps of its own display.
• Using ⌘-Tab to reach an app on the other display no longer adds that app to the workspace of the display you just left.

A Dock on every display, and macOS desktops closer to workspaces.

• A Dock on every display. Turn it on in Settings › General › On every display. Every display gets its own bar and keeps its own workspace: switching workspaces changes only the display you are on, and switching on one display never hides the apps another one is showing. Off by default.
• A workspace can be tied to several desktops. In the workspace editor, Activate on desktops has a switch for each macOS desktop, and going to any of them switches to the workspace.
• Assign To, like in the macOS Dock: right-click an app › Options › Assign To, with All Desktops, one desktop or None.
• Two new shortcuts, Next workspace and Previous workspace, in Settings › General › Shortcuts. After the last one comes the first. Off until you record a key.
• Window previews on hover had not opened since 0.9.1. They are back, and they now show windows on other desktops too.
• The permission prompt for Spotify and Music came and went on its own until someone clicked in time. It now shows once and waits for an answer.
• Importing a workspace that already existed lost its widgets and its open app indicator colour. It no longer does.

Lighter, and one hang fewer.

• A Dock sitting still uses about a seventh of the processor it did. Measured on the same Mac, with the same workspaces, over a minute: from 13.9% to 2.1% of a core with the bar on screen, and from 12.3% to 1.4% with it hidden.
• Memory went from 139 MB to 42 MB.
• The water tank and the pet were rebuilt inside so they can move without waking the whole app. From the outside they look the same.
• Opening Settings › Permissions could freeze the app until it was force quit, when Music or Spotify was open but not answering. It no longer does.
• A busy music player can no longer hold the Dock.
• Music and Spotify read as "Not asked yet" in Permissions after being allowed, whenever the player was closed.

A new widget, for when the keyboard needs cleaning.

• Keyboard Lock, in Widgets › Tools: one click locks the keyboard, the trackpad and the mouse, so you can wipe them without typing anything. To unlock, hold a click for 3 seconds; if you forget, it unlocks by itself after 2 minutes.
• The widget settings can leave the trackpad and mouse free, change both times and turn off the sound that says it locked and unlocked.
• Touch ID and the power button are not locked. Nothing locks while a password field has focus or the screen is locked, and quitting PrimoDock always unlocks.
• It uses the Accessibility permission, the same one PrimoDock's Dock already asks for.

A new widget, for the hot days.

• Fans, in Widgets › System: shows how fast the fans are turning, in the Dock. One click pins them at maximum, another hands them back to macOS. Only on Macs with fans.
• macOS only lets an administrator change the fans, so on the first switch it asks you to allow a PrimoDock helper. That helper does one thing, reads nothing and sends nothing, and comes off in Edit Widget › Remove Helper. If you never use the widget, nothing is installed.
• If PrimoDock quits with the fans at maximum, they go back to automatic by themselves.

A direct line to us.

• Send feedback, in the Settings sidebar and in Settings › General, opens the public PrimoDock board (fdbk.online/oprimo/primodock) in your browser. Suggest ideas, report problems and vote on what comes next.

A better app launcher.

• On macOS 27, the launcher tile opens Launchpad. It used to open the Applications folder in Finder. On macOS 26, Apps still leads to the folder, because it only opens through the macOS Dock.

A fix for macOS 27.

• The app launcher is back on macOS 27. macOS 27 swapped Apps for Launchpad, and the tile right after Finder vanished from the bar. PrimoDock now shows whichever launcher your macOS has.

A fix for the pet.

• A pet in a widget stack keeps walking the Dock. Put in a stack, it used to vanish from the bar. Now it heads out from the stack and comes back to it, whichever widget is on show.

A fix for widget stacks.

• Saving a workspace in the editor no longer breaks up its widget stacks. Widgets stacked while the editor was open used to go back to places of their own on save.

Fixes in the widgets and the gallery.

• The widget gallery previews its sample agenda, reminders and tasks in the language the app is set to.
• The counts on the cards read properly in Portuguese.
• A screenshot thumbnail shows straight away when its card is redrawn, instead of flashing an empty space first.
• The Claude limits preview no longer sits on "waiting" all afternoon.
• Installing is clearer: the DMG opens on a window that shows where to drag PrimoDock.

Nine new widgets, backups of your workspaces and a page just for permissions.

• Nine new widgets in the gallery: clipboard history, bookmarks, emoji, screenshots, the latest files in a folder, a shelf to park files on, Pomodoro, water and a unit converter.
• Widget stacks: several widgets in one place on the Dock, and scrolling over it moves from one to the next.
• No more widget limit. Each one used to take a slot in the macOS Dock; now that only happens in native Dock mode.
• The timer has a colour of its own and a wide card, and the time runs round the edge of the tile.
• Backups: PrimoDock keeps a copy of your workspaces and widgets every time it opens and quits. The Backups page shows the Dock as it was in each one and puts it back in one click.
• The settings window has a sidebar like System Settings, with a search that finds any page, setting or widget. The widget gallery has a search too.
• Permissions page: every permission PrimoDock uses, whether it is granted, and a button to reset them all and start over.
• Drag the Dock's separator to change the icon size.
• Dropping files on the Trash, the shelf or AirDrop in the Dock works again.
• Without Full Disk Access, the Trash panel says why it cannot see your files instead of looking empty. And each file shows its proper icon.
• With the Dock hidden, the pet hides too or keeps walking along the edge of the screen. You choose in its settings.
• A widgets file the app cannot read no longer wipes out your widgets.

An eyedropper in the Dock.

• A new widget takes the colour of any point on the screen. It opens the system loupe, and the colour you pick becomes its tile in the Dock. It is in the gallery, under Tools.
• The colours picked before it are kept. Clicking one copies it, and the pin in the corner holds a colour past the limit.
• It copies in the format you work in: hex, rgb(), hsl(), SwiftUI Color, NSColor or a CSS variable.
• You can record a shortcut in the widget settings, and then the loupe opens without you opening anything first.

The calendar and the music ask for permission again, for real this time.

• The calendar widget shows your events again. The "Allow access" button did nothing at all: macOS refused to show the permission window, so the widget kept saying "nothing coming up" over a full week. Reminders had the same problem.
• The music talks to Music and Spotify again, which ran into the same thing.
• The first time you open one of those widgets, macOS asks you to allow it. If PrimoDock already looked ticked in System Settings, it may ask again: the old approval never counted.

The store opened, and this build does not stop working on 30 October.

• 0.7.0 was a feedback build: nothing to pay and a date it died on. This is the normal one, and it does not expire.
• It can be bought, in reais, by Pix or card in instalments. The key arrives in your inbox and at the end of the purchase.
• The trial is 14 days for anyone starting by 30 September, and 7 days from then on. Anyone already trying keeps the days they were given.

Four new pets in the Dock, and a walk that stopped being a pace back and forth.

• A dragon lives in the Dock. Every so often it rears up and breathes fire, on its own, whatever your Mac happens to be doing.
• A warrior girl and a warrior boy train with a light blade. Between rounds they run the whole kata: guard up, cut, follow through. They sleep on a futon and eat a bowl of rice instead of the basket and the kibble.
• A pixel art dino, which stops halfway to roar.
• Every pet wanders unpredictably now. They used to walk the bar end to end and come back, always the same. Each one now picks somewhere to be, at its own pace, and stops where it meant to.
• This trial build stops working on 30 October 2026, the same day as the one before it.

One fix in the Weather widget.

• In Forecast, the days line up again and every sky icon comes out the same size. On a narrower bar the text ran into itself and off the card; now it shows only the days that fit.
• This trial build stops working on 30 October 2026, not on 3 November as the one before it said. The store opens before then, and the app updates itself to the normal version.

The trial is fourteen days, and while the store is closed this build locks nothing.

• The trial is now fourteen days from first launch. Anyone already in one got the extra days without doing anything.
• While the store is closed, this build does not pause the Dock when the trial ends: it says so and keeps working. Stopping your Mac over a purchase that does not exist yet makes no sense.
• This trial build carries its own end date and stops working on 3 November 2026. The normal version lands before then, and this one updates itself to it.
• Fixed: a Mac in a trial could stop receiving updates early, because the pass that opens the update channel was not renewed when the window moved.

A pet in the Dock, two new widgets, and the macOS Dock finally out of the way.

• Pet: an animal that lives in the Dock and moves the way your Mac works. It sits while things are quiet, walks while it works, runs while it is busy, and goes to sleep when left alone. Cat, dog or bird, four coats each, drawn in pixel art. It can stay in its own tile or walk the whole bar, jumping from one icon to the next — and you can put food out to bring it back.
• GitHub widget: the pull requests waiting on you, yours with the state of their checks, and the contribution year on the icon.
• Claude usage widget: how much of your plan is gone and when it resets, read from Claude Code itself.
• Calendar: you can pick which calendars the widget reads, instead of all of them.
• The macOS Dock now stays out of Mission Control too. It used to show up there on the three-finger swipe however well hidden it was.
• The Settings window opens at the right size, instead of wider than the bar it hides.
• If the trial runs out, the macOS Dock comes back on its own. Before, the Mac was left with no Dock at all until you activated a licence.
• The GitHub contribution grid is drawn in a single pass, which took weight off the widget.

The first public release: a Dock for every workspace, drawn by the app itself.

• Workspaces with their own pinned apps, switched by click, shortcut or gesture.
• The Liquid Glass bar, with window previews, stacks, Drop Zone, Trash and Downloads.
• Seventeen kinds of live widget between the apps.
• Native Dock mode, for keeping the original Dock and swapping its pinned items instead.
• Your own look: icon size, hover effect, opening animation and indicator.

The app checks for updates on its own, if you leave that on, and installs them in one click. No store is involved.

• Buying gives you a year of updates. After that year the app keeps working forever on whatever version you have, and newer ones become a cheap renewal, never a subscription.

A clock in the Dock, pinned tray icons, three new widgets and a round of fixes asked for on the board.

• Clock and date: with the taskbar hidden, the time shows at the end of the Dock in Windows’ regional format, with the date if you want it. A click opens the calendar.
• Tray icons in the Dock: pin other apps’ icons, like Discord’s voice dot, next to battery, network and volume. From the button in the tray panel, by dragging to the Dock, or in Settings. Works with the taskbar hidden completely.
• Quit and Empty Recycle Bin: right-click an app to quit all of it, in every workspace, and the Recycle Bin to empty it.
• New widgets: Keyboard Layout (switch layouts with a click), Codex Usage (plan limits and tokens) and OpenCode Usage (cost and tokens by provider).
• Fix: windows of an Edge or Chrome profile other than the default count as the pinned browser, instead of each click opening a new window.
• Fix: resting the pointer on the other monitor’s taskbar no longer carries the Dock there.
• Fix: an app that stops responding no longer freezes the Dock with it, nor shows as a blank icon.
• Fix: switching workspace with the mouse button down no longer throws or clicks the wrong icon.
• Fix: activating a licence works on a Windows without the Visual C++ runtime.

Widgets that match your icon pack, as on the Mac.

• Widgets in your pack's style: widgets wear the icon pack you use for every app, with the same container, colours and type. The 12 packs in the gallery come ready.
• Always readable: text and marks are adjusted until they have enough contrast on the pack's container, warning colours too, like a low battery's.
• The Timer and Pomodoro progress line follows the outline of the pack's container and starts at the top centre.
• Prefer PrimoDock's own look? Turn off Settings › Appearance › Widgets follow the icon pack.

The Icon Gallery and the IconStudio arrive, the same as on the Mac.

• Icon Gallery: packs ready to dress up your Dock, with a featured pack and cards that say how many of your apps each one covers. Install, use on the Dock, stop using and uninstall in one click. New packs get a "New" mark and a count in the sidebar; installed packs update on their own. Packs come with the licence (and the trial).
• IconStudio: draw an app's icon from letters, a picture of yours, the app's own icon or any icon from a pack, on a background with a gradient, angle and gloss. The preview shows it in the Dock between its neighbours. Save it to one app or use the style on all of them at once.
• Icon from the Dock's menu: right-click an app, a folder or Downloads and pick its original icon, one from a pack, or a picture of yours (PNG, ICO, JPG or another program's icon).
• Appearance › App Icons: swap every icon for a pack, previewed on your own apps.
• Made for Windows: the Mac's packs recognise Windows apps (Edge, File Explorer, Settings, Terminal, Recycle Bin, the Start button…), in English and Portuguese.

The Dock works with more than one monitor: it goes to the monitor you are on, or there is one on every monitor, each with its own workspace.

• Follows the pointer: the Dock is no longer stuck on the main monitor. Rest the pointer on the Dock's edge of another monitor and it moves there, like on the Mac. It works across monitors at different scales.
• On every display: turn it on in General › Monitors and every monitor gets its own Dock, with its own workspace. Switching workspaces on one monitor only touches its windows; the others stay as they are. A window opened on or dragged to another monitor joins that monitor's workspace, and a workspace's windows come along when you open it on another monitor.
• Panels on the right monitor: window previews, tray icons, widget panels and the Start button's apps open on the monitor of the Dock you clicked, at the right size for its scale.
• Start on the other monitors: Windows only opens its own Start on the main monitor. On the others, the Start button opens PrimoDock's apps in the middle of the screen, and Settings says so.

The Dock no longer bobs up and down by itself during full-screen games.

• Full-screen games: with the pointer hidden by a game and resting on the screen's edge away from the bar, the Dock kept coming up and going, with the mouse standing still. A hidden pointer no longer brings the Dock up, and once the Dock goes with the pointer on the edge, it comes back only after the pointer leaves the edge and touches it again.

The purchase screen takes a creator's coupon.

• Creator coupons: under "Have a creator coupon?", type the coupon a creator gave you. The discount shows right away, with the old price struck through, and works for Pix, card and US dollars. Coupons belong to PrimoDock's partner creators, through criador.studio.

The Dock steps aside for full-screen apps, fits the screen with many apps, and no longer mixes up windows across Windows' desktops.

• Full screen: with a game, a video, a slideshow or the browser after F11, the Dock stayed on top. It now hides, and the pointer at the screen edge still brings it up.
• Fits the screen: with many apps open or pinned, the Dock ran past both ends of the screen, taking Start and the status square with it. The icons now shrink until it fits and grow back to the size you chose when there is room, like the Mac Dock.
• Windows' desktops: a window on another virtual desktop (Win+Ctrl+D) was forgotten by PrimoDock and, on the way back, went to whichever workspace was active. It now stays in the workspace it was opened in, and windows a workspace minimized come back when you enter it.

The tour shows your Dock before you customise it, and Windows' Start opens on its own again.

• The Dock in the tour: the taskbar step now comes before the theme and the pet. Hide the taskbar and the Dock takes its place, so the theme and the pet you pick change on it as you go.
• The licence at the end: the offer is now the tour's last step, and "Skip the rest" takes you there.
• Start on its own: hiding the taskbar in the tour only set it to auto-hide, so Start brought it along. The tour now hides it completely, and Start opens by itself, over the Dock. If you already went through the tour, pick "Hide it completely" in Settings › General.

The tour lets you pick a theme and shows the licence in two columns, and the Windows version is now called a beta.

• Beta: PrimoDock for Windows is in beta. The version and the installer say so, and everything you tell us helps get it ready.
• Pick a theme in the tour: all 15 themes, the seasonal ones moving. The Dock arrives wearing the one you chose when the tour ends.
• The licence in the tour: in two columns, as in PrimoEngine. What it unlocks and the price on one side; e-mail, paying in reais or dollars, and "I already have a key" on the other. Continuing on the trial sits in the footer.
• Switching workspaces in the tour: the mouse wheel is drawn, and the third way is now the right-click menu.
• Workspace switcher: the dots at the start of the Dock are off on a new install. Turn them on in Appearance.
• Tour titles: the page titles and the price show again.

The welcome tour shows again the first time PrimoDock opens, sized to your screen.

• Welcome tour: since 0.3.2, with the Start button in the Dock, the tour did not open on a new install. It opens now, with Start drawn as the Dock draws it.
• Sized to the screen: the tour takes at most 80% of the screen and shrinks as a whole on smaller or high-scale screens.
• One at a time: on the first run, the Dock arrives when the tour ends instead of sitting behind it.

The music cover always shows, and the licence's new price.

• Music cover: when a track restarted or the next one began, the widget could stay without its cover until the song changed. The cover now shows as soon as the player publishes it.
• Licence: US$ 9.99 or R$ 34,90, paid once, for 1 Mac and 1 PC.

Widgets that open a panel, a to-do list, and battery, network and sound in the Dock.

• Widget panels: as on the Mac, clicking a widget opens a panel over it with more detail and its controls. The month's calendar, clock, 7-day forecast, battery, timer, pomodoro, system activity, network, countdown, time progress, Claude usage, water, screenshots and files. A click elsewhere closes it.
• To-do list: a new widget to jot down, tick off and clear to-dos, right in its panel.
• Battery, network and sound in the Dock: a square at the end of the Dock shows all three; a click opens Windows' quick settings, and the chevron shows other apps' icons.
• Start button: on by default, first in the Dock, and you can drag it anywhere.
• Widget search: the widget gallery has a search, as on the Mac.
• Stacked monitors: with a monitor below (or beside) the Dock and "Hide and show automatically" on, the Dock no longer bobs up and down while the pointer is on the other screen, and it fades out instead of sliding onto it.
• Defaults for people coming from the taskbar: the Start button opens Windows' Start, and icons grow a little under the pointer, as on the Mac. All of it can still be changed in Settings.
• Fixes: status icons change colour with what's behind them, the Dock adjusts when the display's scale changes, and the caret in text fields sits before the placeholder.

Windows' Start on its own, icons on rounded tiles, and the Dock's size on its divider.

• Start without the taskbar: the new "Hide it completely" mode hides the taskbar for good. The Windows key (or the Dock's Start button) opens just Start, floating over the Dock. The taskbar comes back when you quit PrimoDock.
• Mac-style icons: each icon is sized to match the widgets and, when it isn't a square, sits on a rounded tile, as on macOS 26. In Appearance you can pick just "Same size" or keep them as they come.
• Size on the divider: click, hold and drag the Dock's divider to make it bigger or smaller, as on the Mac.
• Updating without the tray: with the taskbar hidden, an update shows up in the Dock's menu, in Settings, in PrimoDock's Start and in a note above the Dock. "Check for Updates…" is in the Dock's menu.
• Windows off the Dock: the Dock's strip is reserved again when Explorer restarts or the display changes, and snapped windows left under it move back above it.
• Widgets: text shrinks to fit before it is cut; the clock shows big digits, with AM/PM and the city underneath.

The Dock at the top, a Start of PrimoDock's own and a new workspace editor.

• Dock at the top: it sits at the top of the screen while the taskbar and Start stay at the bottom, where they always were. The open-app marker, the bounce, magnification and names all point down.
• PrimoDock's Start: the Dock's Start button opens a floating panel with all your apps, search and power buttons, without bringing the taskbar back. Windows' own Start is still one setting away, in General.
• Workspace editor, redone: Workspaces as tabs; drag to reorder them (and their Ctrl+Alt+number). Duplicate in one click. Each workspace's Dock is drawn on your wallpaper: drag to reorder, pull off to remove, right-click to rename. Every installed app, with search: double-click or drag onto the bar. Folders and files in a list of their own.
• Music: previous, play and next each have their own spot to click; the rest of the widget opens the player. With the widget in the Dock, Spotify (and other players) no longer shows up again as an open app, and the widget wears the marker.
• Smoother: gliding scroll in settings, widgets that follow the icons' magnification, and theme changes without a mixed-up look halfway.

Themes, widgets and customisation: the Windows Dock catches up with the Mac.

• 15 themes: Native, Liquid Glass, Midnight, Rocket, Aqua Shelf, Neon, Canarinho, Paper and Floating, plus six seasonal ones. Halloween, Haunted Night, Candy Corn, Christmas, Snowy Night and Candy Cane. With bats, fog, snow, falling leaves, cobwebs with a spider, slime, twinkling lights, jack-o'-lanterns and little ghosts.
• Make each theme yours: colours, opacity, border, glow, corners, reflections and each decoration, with "Restore".
• Your way: the Dock at the bottom, left or right, icon size, bottom space, hover effect (none, scale or magnification), opening animation (bounce, pulse or shake), and a dot or dash indicator in any colour.
• Hide and show automatically, and maximized windows that stop above the Dock instead of going under it.
• Drag to arrange: drag icons to reorder them or off the bar to remove them, and drop apps, files and folders from File Explorer to keep them. Spacers too, and an optional Start button.
• Widgets in the bar, as a square or a wide card: Music (Spotify, browsers or any player), Calendar, Battery, Clock (digital, analog and world), Timer, Pomodoro, and Weather with a forecast. Note, System Activity, Network Activity, Drink Water, Screenshots, Files, Countdown, Time Progress and Claude Usage. Stack widgets in one place and switch between them with the mouse wheel.
• New pets: Santa and a little Ghost that floats above the bar. Put out food and your pet comes running.
• Searchable settings: find any option by name, in English or Portuguese.

PrimoDock comes to Windows: one Dock for each thing you do, on the same licence as your Mac.

• A real Dock: a glass bar where icons magnify under the pointer, an icon that bounces as its app opens, and a dot under every open app. Open apps you haven't pinned get a section of their own.
• Clicks do what you expect: an app comes to the front, minimizes if it already was in front, and steps through its windows when it has several.
• Live previews: rest the pointer on an icon to see that app's windows, click one to go there, or close it straight from the preview.
• Workspaces: each one has its own pinned apps and its own windows. Switching tucks away the windows of the one you leave and brings back the ones of the one you enter. You start with Work, Personal and Focus, each in its own colour.
• Three ways to switch: Ctrl+Alt+1 to 9 from any app, the mouse wheel over the Dock, or the dots on the bar.
• Nothing gets lost: every window stays in its workspace, even after PrimoDock restarts or quits unexpectedly.
• Right-click an icon: keep it in the Dock or remove it, move its windows to another workspace, close them, open a new window, or show the app in File Explorer.
• A pet on your bar: cat, dog, bird, dragon, dino, warrior girl or warrior boy, in several coats. It runs when your PC is busy and naps when it's quiet.
• The Windows taskbar: keep it visible with the Dock just above it, or hide it while PrimoDock runs. When you quit, it comes back exactly as it was, even if PrimoDock closed suddenly.
• Settings in PrimoDock's own look: Workspaces: rename, recolour, add, delete, and unpin apps. A pet picker with a walking preview. Taskbar, open at startup, updates, shortcuts and licence.
• A walkthrough on first launch: it shows your own Dock switching workspaces and sets up the pet, the taskbar and startup with you.
• One licence for Mac and PC: the same key activates PrimoDock on one Mac and one PC. You buy inside the app, by card in US dollars or by Pix or card in reais, and it activates itself as soon as the payment lands. A 7-day trial with everything included, no card, no account.
• Small, automatic updates: PrimoDock downloads new versions on its own, usually under 200 KB, and restarts only when you choose.
• Languages: English and Brazilian Portuguese, following your Windows language.
